Meyer Lemon Icebox Cake

9 ingredients
4 steps

Ingredients

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 12 ounces mascarpone cheese
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 cup limoncello liqueur
  • zest of 3 Meyer lemons
  • 1 teaspoon Meyer lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 16-18 ounces lemon wafer cookies
  • lemon zest curls for garnish

Directions

  1. 1
    Using a standing mixer with a whisk attachment, combine the cream, mascarpone, sugar, limoncello, lemon zest, lemon juice and vanilla. Mix on low speed to begin, gradually increasing speed until firm peaks form.
  2. 2
    Use an 8-inch springform pan to assemble the cake. You will be making 4 layers each of cookies and of filling. Begin with a layer of cookies, overlapping to insure a solid base with no spaces between the cookies. Next, add 1/4 of the filling and smooth with an offset spatula.
  3. 3
    Repeat the cookie-filling layers 3 more times, finishing with the cream filling on top of the cake. Smooth carefully with a spatula. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  4. 4
    To serve, run a knife around the sides of the cake and remover sides of the springform pan. Using 2 spatulas, carefully lift the cake off the springform bottom. Place cake on a stand or plate. Garnish with lemon zest curls, cut and serve while still cold.
